oesenc plugin missing from PPA:opencpn repository

[DamnDecentDave]

Hello, my first post on your forum which has helped me greatly to get this far with OpenCPN that I have recently installed (4.8.6) on my Lubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) system. I've successfully loaded the S63 plugin OK but no luck with the oesenc plugin. I get the following terminal response:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install opencpn-plugin-oesenc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package opencpn-plugin-oesenc


Looking in the /var/lib/apt/lists ppa.launchpad.net.opencpn_opencpn_ubuntu_dists_bio nic_main_binary-amd64_Package files I see no entry for a oesenc-plugin. Is this my problem and if so, is there another repository I should be accessing. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

ddd...

A bit of plugin name scheme drift has occurred.

Try

$ sudo apt-get install oesenc-pi

I'll fix this for the next Release....

Thanks
Dave

Hello,
it seems that others plug-in are missing in the PPA for Bionic.

Jean...

Which ones, please?

None off those I tried to install (Logbookkoni, Watchdog, Statusbar, Climatology, draw) are in /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net.opencpn_opencpn_ubuntu_dists_bio nic_main_binary-amd64_Packages
And apt-get install does not find them.
But it works with those in the PPA, e.g. iacfleet.
Everything OK with RPI and Stretch.

I installed on ubuntu 18.04 x64 yesterday:

 sudo apt-get install opencpn*

It seemed that everything installed perfect - but haven’t checked the oeSENC plugin

bdbcat, thanks.

sudo apt-get install oesenc-pi installed OK and I've enabled under Options/Plugins

@Petter5
It does not work for me with opencpn*: I just get those which are in PPA files : standard plugins + Iacfleet and PyPilot

Hi,

I have the same problem: with Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic), most of the plugins are note available (alike opencpn-plugin-weatherrouting, opencpn-plugin-polar, etc.).

Would be nice to have it fixed...

Cheers,
Pierre

Disclaimer: it's typically not recommended to mix flavors of PPAs like this, so I don't recommend this, but if you're in a pinch maybe this will help.

I'm still running in to this problem, specifically trying to resolve the weather routing plugin. I'm also running Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver. Actually I'm running kubuntu 18.04 but it's effectively the same thing. In case you're very new to this, Ubuntu names their releases in alphabetical order and xenial was release 24 before the alphabet rolled over and they started over again with A and the next release after that was bionic.

My solution was to install the PPA for xenial (the 16.04 LTS release) which seems to be setup correctly. You can follow the instructions here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/2932...evious-release

The short version (in case the link dies) is to choose Modify in Software & Updates > Other software from bionic to xenial distribution.

This will create a new "http://ppa.launchpad.net/bdbcat/opencpn/ubuntu main" package that ends in "xenial" instead of "bionic"

Then run "sudo apt-get update" and then run "sudo apt-get install opencpn-plugin-weatherrouting" and it ought to install. This might solve other missing plugin problems.

To "clean up" you can uncheck your newly created xenial package in the Software & Updates > Other software so that you always pick up the bionic.

Again, the people building the packages expect the packages to be installed from the correct PPA so this may cause some difficulty with compatibility or uninstalling plugins or break other things, this is totally a hack so the developers won't support it... but until weather routing is officially supported in Bionic Beaver/18.04 LTS maybe this will help someone else in a bind!

1. opencpn-plugin-climatology can not be installed because it depends on opencpn-plugin-climatology-data and there is only "precise" version. A "xenial" version of opencpn-plugin-climatology-data should be built at least.

2. There is not version 1.13 of opencpn-plugin-weatherrouting, there is only version 1.10.
